Congratz, finally a more realistic challenge that I'll actually have some fun!

[Death Unveiled]

I felt this challenge was pretty easy. It was appropriate for a mechbay, but maybe go back to kills and give a better prize. Might make it a bit more challenging.

In the Steiner Challenge the Atlas, one of the best know Steiner mechs, was excluded to prevent Steiner 'scout' lances. But now it is Marik Challenge and the Atlas is included ?

The theory is that these lists are being based upon manufacturers on planets within the factions' borders. This is a good thing if they are keeping track of that, as it will be important for CW that each planet has a purpose.

how do you track progression?

[Der Kopfsammler]

Well at least this one didnt felt like a frustrating chore like the last challenge. Well done.

Go to your "Profile" > "Stats" > "Challenges" tab.

I run Light mechs, so this'll still be an actual challenge. Looks like my best bet is to tag as many enemy mechs with a laser or missile as I can.

Anyone know if the DDC counts as a variant of the AS7-D?

The cat is in the bag - bye bye smoke jaguar!

[neobird]

Can I check how many points I've got?

It does not.

Respectfully, I disagree.

I think they hit the nail on the head with difficulty; it is pretty easy so casual players can take part.

Plus they introduced assists specifically because the community last week complained that making it kills only encouraged poor play, kill stealing and friendly fire.

I would agree that it would be nice to have harder challenges with better rewards for those who would like to take part, but this should be in addition to and not instead of casual challenges.

Ye! Something like:

100 point - Mechbay
200 point - Cockpit crap
500 point - One Free Color

+1 Jabilo

[kesuga7]

so spotting assists and uav assists with tag and narcing dont count?!

[Nightmare1]

Lovin' these free Mechbays PGI! Thanks a lot!

Maybe the next challenge could focus on Spotting Assists, Counter-ECM, UAC Detection, TAG Bonuses, etc. instead of kills and kill assists. Might shake things up a bit.

[POWR]

Nice challenge

[Mawai]

So .. does this end on the 17th at 11:59 PDT as the banner says ... or on the 19th at 10am PDT as the text in the message says? The only comment by Nikolai appears tp be an "Indeed" when someone earlier in the thread pointed out that there is an error ... I don't understand why the error hasn't been fixed so that there is no ambiguity regarding the timing of this challenge.

You Mariks may have taken our Atlas, but I took your Mechbay.

[The Great Unwashed]

With the tournament going on it's much more difficult to get the number of kills in my SHD-2H which is great. I got the mechbay with what would have been a 227 tourny score in my last game, but gardening had more priority and I did not opt in...

Free stuff is nice and all, but are all these house challenges going to be for free mechbays only?
